I recently picked up another BB2 with the intent on converting it to NXT-3 at some point soon.
The OLED button deck is a newer spill proof deck.
The repeat bet button takes a considerable amount of force to actuate the switch.
Is there anyway to change or adjust this? It takes a pretty firm press in order for it to work.
Thanks!

Even though they are liquid resistant, that doesn't mean they don't need cleaning. Probably has some old drink residue around the liquid membrane. Just take it apart and wipe it down. There's no adjustment.

Well I pulled it apart, cleaned everything up but still have the issue. I guess it may be time to look for a different button panel?

There's not a whole lot to those buttons. It'd be a waste to chunk it for one sticky button. Aside from the OLED button module, you've got the actuator that breaks the optic beam to register a button press. It has 4 springs, one of them might be jammed up. No telling what was done with it before you got it.

Thanks Jon, how do you pull it completely apart? Do you carefully pull the membrane up and off of the panel to get to the actuator?

So if I'm reading this right there is no switch contact, only an optic beam that when broke registers a press of the button?

They also sell kits to replace the actuator if it's damaged.
I bet the little legs are bent on the actuator causing the problem.

Correct. If you look at the PCB of the button, there's a "cutout long/thin notch" and a corresponding flat "blade" on the button. When you push the button down, the flat edge goes through the notch and breaks the ir beam, thus registering a button push. A lot of the times, one of the sides of the actuator assembly has messed up springs, or just broken/shortened legs, which impedes the plastic edge from blocking out the beam.

To pull these apart you remove all of the screws, lift off the metal plate, pull the lens caps off of the buttons and then what? Will the rubber membrane pull off around the buttons?

Yes the membrane is removable and goes back on fairly easy.
